-
- the editmode is a feature of NeXT's version of csh, and has little to do
- with which terminal emulator you use (Terminal, Stuart, xterm) - as long
- as the most basic termcap features are supported.
-
- NeXT's csh command line editing, is a weak copy of what's available from
- more modern shells such as tcsh, zsh, ksh and others. They have
- many other features including command and filename completion.

-
- yes, just use a shell that supports command line editing,
- I recommend tcsh (free from tesla.ee.cornell.edu) but there are
- several others as mentioned above. it may already be on the system
- you are using.
